Doesn’t sound like she thinks she’s a FWB.

Dump her explicitly. In person. Then block her on social media and chat. Move on.

You do not want to move to Germany and move into his house. That’s a great way to get trapped.

I suggest you move to Germany only if you have an independent reason to move to Germany, like you want to go to school there or have job prospects.

Here are some red flags:

• you are not even in college and he’s saying these are the “best years”. They aren’t. Your “best years” are ahead of you and will comprise a lifetime.

• you’ve been dating long distance for three years. There is no substitute for IRL interaction. Basically a long distance relationship with limited IRL interaction is the same thing as getting set up on a blind date when it comes to dating.

• you don’t have any plans to become an independent person regardless of what happens. If you can’t be independent, you ae going to be a poor partner for your future mate.

I don’t know why people do this shit. Because a random letter or email with no details is just sus.

Basically you have three choices.

1. ignore it - god knows who or why they sent it and malice and crazy are pervasive.

2. follow your gut - don’t necessarily believe it but reflect on your relationship and behaviors and check out any threads that seem to be suspicious.

3. talk to your SO - I don’t intend confrontation, but that’s an option. It will likely result in a denial and gaslighting if its true, anger if it’s not (and if it’s true). Possibly in violence. So be careful.

Personally I would go with option 2 first and then switch to either 1 or 3 once I had more information.

But you can’t spend your life pursuing random things, so you have to decide what to believe and when.

I’m about to be forced to switch to Opera, a Chinese-owned browser, Firefox, a bloted piece of crap, or some weak open source browser.

Sigh. The internet is dead.

Nothing is wrong with you. You might have habits or behaviors that are counterproductive. You might have life experience that trained you to react in ways that are suboptimal.

We’re all like that. If you go around thinking you are broken, then improving is impossible because broken things are just trash, right?

But yeah, the things you describe suggest some unhealthy behaviors.

Um… Girl, it’s been a month. 4 weeks. And you are so attached to him already??? You “want to be in a relationship with him so bad”?

This reads very unhealthy from you.

What exactly is going on with you that you’re this deep this fast with someone you barely know?

They sandbox the message, test it, then block quarantined items from interacting with the underlying OS….

Or, just spitballing here, they could have designed the kernel so that it doesn’t take root level commands from anything in the application layer…

To add to this, from the perspective of someone with biology training but not medical…

It is entirely possible that this is an evolutionary response. Fevers kill the disease and, if they go on long enough, the host.

It makes complete sense that a cycling fever provides the most likely survival of the host and that individuals that don’t cycle fevers simply don’t survive.

Just to add to this, not only is there less no convection with a solid (ice), it has a lower thermal conductivity (though not by much), and the surface area of water in contact with your skin is much higher.

Conductive heat transfer efficiency at an interface will be a function of the total area of contact between the two surfaces. Add in convection, where the heat is rapidly moved away from the skin by mixing of the water and water is a much better coolant than solid ice.

If you further add things like evaporative cooling into the mix, wet skin can be really dangerous.

Thanks for all the answers. TBH, I never understood the concept of time slowing down with acceleration, because if you choose the right reference frame, it would seem that the return trip requires the twin to experience negative acceleration. Though writing this, that’s still acceleration I guess.

My take away is that I don’t understand the framework behind relativity at all.

She’s an idiot.

“You stole my cups and now I have 5 more than yesterday”

Unfortunately you are right. As OP is 16, he doesn’t have any rights to property or money. His parents sold an asset. Period. End of sentence. They are not guilty of a crime.

It may be that OP could sue them in civil court for misappropriation of assets directed to OP in an inheritance. But probably not.

Thank you for this!

I think to restate this simply (with the caveat that simple == less correct) is that we do know it’s not things we can detect easily, like elements (hydrogen, helium, iron, etc). These things tend to clump together and do things like fall into stars where we can detect them by their emission lines. Which how we know things like the hydrogen/deuterium ratios of stars and galaxies. We know the mass is there through observation of galactic rotation. We just can’t see it.

What’s left are largely things that are hard to detect. Like neutrinos. Or theoretical things like subsolar mass black holes or various WIMPs that are also really hard to detect.

As to what dark matter is, there isn’t any definitive proof of one thing over another, though some things are more likely than others.

I don’t think you fucked up.

I think the ex and his coworkers are shit on par with Andrew Tate.

Could have been worse. You could be 60.

That’s about right.

Shoe sizes are kind of like clothing sizes. They vary by manufacturer and brand. You could have an issue where your feet are exceptionally wide, requiring size 10 shoes in brands that run narrow. This is why you try shoes on rather than just running out of the store with a box in your hands.

Oh yeah. Nothing like conservatives learning exactly nothing at all from their success in the UK with Brexit - leading to massive economic losses, the worst economic downturn in the post-WWII era, and no prospects for improvement in the next decade.

Go Alberta! May Texas and Florida go next.

Actually I think they made it up to #3 or #2 public university. Which is weird, because when I went there it was #1 on the list of playboy party schools. It certainly wasn't great regards education.

For the purposes of studying extraterrestrial environments and clean experiments about the origins of life, not having terrestrial life on board is important.

For the purposes of studying how well terrestrial life can adapt and thrive in nonterrestrial environments, having them provides a natural experiment.

The hard fact is that it’s almost impossible to exclude terrestrial bacteria from any space craft. So for now, scientists try their best, and eventually it won’t matter.

Why is Oregon so fucking expensive???

And paying that much for an education in Florida is an affront to education.

This isn’t surprising since Pfizer is a narrowly focused value added chemical manufacturer (pharma), and J&J is a consolidated heath qnd pharma supplier. Basically J&J has a conglomerate business and Pfizer doesnt.

The title of the data image is awesome.

lol “sexual bestiality, lewd exhibition of nudity, sexual excitement, sexual conduct or sadomasochistic abuse, coprohilia, urophilia, and fetishism.”

So just wondering what comprises "lewd exhibition of nudity", "sexual excitement", and "sexual conduct". Is it a hug? Someone smiling at another person? A kiss? Showing an ankle? Can we talk at all about any kind of reproduction in biology? The mere mention of a gamete is sexual...

This is the kind of rule that sounds good to people who are normal, but ends up being a race to the bottom because there are a lot of people that are not normal, and definitions of these things change over time.
